"FMI maintains a guarded, cautious posture on global equities due to high valuations, trade wars, and demographic headwinds, relying on a disciplined value strategy to extract long-term margin of safety."
Fiduciary Management, Inc. (FMI) outlines a cautious outlook for Q2 2025. Major macroeconomic headwinds are emerging, including reciprocal tariff announcements, geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, historic equity valuations, falling global fertility rates, and weak post-GFC real investment trends. The World Bank has cut its 2025 global growth estimate to 2.3%. While technology like Generative AI offers potential productivity benefits, FMI believes that valuation multiples have little room to expand, particularly in the U.S. Consequently, FMI advocates for a value-oriented approach that emphasizes a 'margin of safety.' They highlight three specific portfolio holdings positioned for attractive long-term returns: Insight Enterprises Inc. (NSIT), Masco Corp. (MAS), and Techtronic Industries (0669.HK).
